Penelope baked 167 puffs. She ate 5
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 11, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Penelope ate = 167 - 5
qNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
167 - 5q4 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (167 - (5 x 11)) ÷ 4
= (167 - 55) ÷ 4
= 112 ÷ 4
= 28
Answer(s): (a)
167 - 5q4; (b) 28
